neck joint gap?

I agree - not just loose binding. . .

Ask for action, saddle height, and relief measurements. If the block has slipped the action should be a little high.

It could be a slipped block, or it could be the dovetail is slipping in its pocket. May very well be that the best (and only) true fix is to remove and reset the neck. Impossible to determine just from a photo, though, as to the specific internal details of the issue.

Unfortunatley you need to consult a local luthier that can examine it more closely.

If all this checks out to be ok and the intonation is good, and the guitar plays and sounds ok, maybe it's just the binding that needs to be glued down.

As above, but even if it plays OK, it could still be a loose block or joint that is simply going to take its time to really get out of whack. Best to ID the issue now. There's some possibility that it's all moved as much as it's ever going to move -- that would be lucky! -- but binding won't pop there without reason, so better make sure. Good luck. Those old Japanese guitars are often just wonderful. Like some old Guilds, they're starting to get snapped up for good reason.
